HLC Art Department and the Chester CHAIR-ity Auction


Recently the HLC Design Department was invited to participate in the Chester CHAIR-ity Auction. They were asked to make a chair for the special fund-raising auction to fund the Jack Owens special-needs playground.

The auction takes place on May 2, 2009, in Chester, WV, and includes the chair with cushions, a one-of-a-kind Fiesta pie baker and 2 matching handmade potholders. Judi Noble has set up a blog for the HLC chair that you can check out by clicking here.

(Hey Judi--are you accepting absentee bids?)

This is yet another fine example of HLC employees' commitment to their community. Way to go!!!

  • There will be a limit of 200 items/lots, available on a"first come, first served" basis.
  • Items being shipped to Pittsburgh by non-attending HLCCA members may not have a reserve, and must be received by June 6, 2009.
  • Please, no chipped, cracked or damaged items.
  • The cut-off date for consigned items is June 15, 2009, to allow enough time to print the auction catalog.

  • A complete description of the item(s) (i.e., name, pattern, year, etc.);
  • Any special information about the piece(s);
  • The reserve price, if any; and

HLCCA Wishes You a Blessed Passover


In a beautiful tablescape created by Saarin Schwartz, a vintage Fiesta relish tray becomes a seder plate for Passover, sharing the table with Ovenserve, Riviera/Tango, Post-86 Fiesta and Bakelite flatware. See more fabulous holiday tablescapes in the Spring 2009 issue of The Dish.
